- Now, you don't have to pay that all at once.

I hope I didn't give you that impression.

Most of our customers do a payment plan.

Now, we're not a finance company,

so all of our payment plans are interest-free.

We have two-month, a four-month, and a six-month plan,

all interest-free.

Simply divide the total cost by two, four, or six.

So, if you put this 18-piece set on a six-month plan,

you could take it home today for only $170.

Is that something you'd like to do today?

- Please, honey, honey, please, please?

- Honey, honey, please, please.

I tell you, you've got a fine product here,

but I think that we're not interested in it right now.

(groaning)

Oh.

- Is it too many knives or just too expensive?

- It's neither.

I've got 1,100 knives in the kitchen right now.

1,100 knives are sitting out there.

I don't think we need any more knives.

- Robert, Delilah, I completely understand,

but I wanna be honest with you.

I really want you to buy.

I'm trying to sell you today,

not because I want you to help me pay my bills this month,

I want you to buy because I can tell you like what you see.

The commission I make off this sale

will be gone by the end of the month,

but this set of cutlery will

be on your kitchen counter for the rest of your lives.

And I'll tell you what.

If you end up hating these knives, I'll come back,

box 'em up, and ship 'emback myself, full refund.

- That changes everything.

- So, Delilah, Robert, what do you say?

- Um, can I get these handles in white?

- (laughs) Of course.

- Okay, oh.

(chuckling)

Really? - [Delilah] Mm-hmm.

(clearing throat)

I'll take 'em. (excited squealing)

- Great, congratulations.

Go to college, get a job, nine to five.

They want us to believe that we are sheep

so they can take our wool.

You are not a sheep.

(blades cutting)

(birds chirping)

- Terrance?

Terrance, time to get up.

(groaning)

Oh, I'll make you pineapple pancakes.

Huh?

Hey. - [Terrance] Ow.

- I need you take Hunter to the pharmacy, come on.

Wake up.

T, wake up!

Terrance!

- [Terrance] Leave me alone!

- Hunter, get him up please.

(amp humming)

(guitar strumming)

- Oh, what the hell, man?!

- Mom wants you to take me to the pharmacy, cool?

- All right.

Good morning, beautiful.

(lips smacking)

- [Kaitlin] What are we supposed to do?

- [Bill] We'll figure something out.

- [Kaitlin] You know, you don't seem that concerned, Bill.

- We will talk about this later.

- Oh, really?

When will that be?

You don't ever wanna talk about anything.

- Talk about what later?

- I'm going for some fresh air.

- Oh, great babe.

Yeah, go for a smoke, that'll solve all our problems.

- What's going on?

Why isn't Dad at work?

(scoffs)

Mom, it's like 8:00 in the morning.

- Yeah, it's good for the digestion.

Here's money for the pharmacy.

I'm late and you gotta hurry.

(upbeat pop music)

(imitating duck quacking)

- Mm, Sea breeze.

(imitating duck quacking)

(upbeat surf music)

- Watch out, watch out.

- I got it.

- So, what's the deal with Mom and Dad?

- What do you mean?

- I mean, they seem to be fighting a lot more lately.

- I stopped trying to figure them out a long time ago.

- Do you think everything's all right in the bedroom?

- Ew, dude!

I don't think about that!

Ugh.

- [Voiceover] Here you go.

- Come on.

(low bass music)

- Why don't you just get a medical card.

You know, say you got the plague or something.

No, that's too intense.

Say you got insomnia.

- Dude, I can't afford one.

- (laughs) Well, why don't you just get a job?

(laughing)

- Woah, woah, woah!

- Come on, dude.

What are you gonna do when I'm at UCSB

with all those beautiful bikini babies?

- Uh, I don't know, sir.

- Terrance, when you gonna do something with your life, bro?

You know, like become a contributing member

to society. (coughing)

- Dude, I am doing something with my life.

- Oh yeah?

Like, what?

- Well like, yesterday, I was watching TV

and I saw this commercial.

And I started thinking to myself.

I mean.

I was watching TV.

Hey dude, what were we talking about?

- I have no idea.

- Oh yeah, yeah.

(laughing)

(slow sensual music)

* Yeah, you know

* Loud and slow

* While I say I'm undone

* Yeah, you know

* Loud and slow

* While I say I'm undone

(cat meowing)

Meow.

- [Bill] Terrance.

- Huh?

- Come downstairs?

- Yeah.

- You're in trouble.

(laughing)

- Shut up, dude.

(cat meowing)

Bye, Tigger.

What did I do now?

- Nothing, we just need to talk to you for a second.

- What's up?

- Listen, they cut my hours at the shop.

- What?

- So, money's tight.

- Terrance, you're an adult now.

Since you're not going to community college right now,

we need you to help around the house.

- What we're trying to say is

we'd like for you to get a job.

- (laughs) Excuse me?

- I mean, just for the summer, until things pick up.

- You want me to get a job?

- Yes.

- We need your help.

We can't afford to take care of you and Hunter right now.

- I just graduated high school!

- We know that, but now it's time to learn

how to be a responsible adult.

- (laughs) I've never worked for the man before.

Can't this just wait 'til after summer?

- It's either help us with some bills or move out.

- (laughs) Oh, move out.

Yeah, that's great.

- This isn't a punishment, Terrance.

We can't even afford to pay Hunter's copay right now.

I mean, we're asking you for help because we need it.

- All right, what do I have to do?

- Just go to some interviews.

Find a job by the end of the week.

- Okay, I'll try.

- Oh, Terrance.

- Are we done here?

Hmm?

Cool, great.

(sighing)

- You really think (laughs) anybody will hire him?

- Who knows with this economy?

Who knows?

(upbeat surf music)

- So, Terrance, tell me what kinds of skills you have.

- Uh, well, I mean, I can pretty much do anything.

- Is this some kinda joke?

- If you need coffee or tea, (laughs) the best.

Tea's super easy for me to do.

Ooh, I give really good back massages.

At least, that's what my mom tells me.

- I would never hire you.

- Oh, dude, I make bomb munchies.

I mean, I mean snacks.

- We'll keep your application on file.

- Get out of my office before I call security.

- Nice to meet you too.

I'm just gonna leave.

- That kid's doomed.

- Oh yeah, I almost forgot something.

Hi-yah!

- Munchies.

Is that a restaurant?

(water churning)

- How'd the surf go?

- Flat as a pancake.

- How 'bout the job interview?

(sighing)

Ah, just hang in there, bud.

(static crackling)

Had to turn the cable off.

Sorry buddy, tough times.

- Sharpco.

"Dear Terrance, congratulations on your recent graduation.

"Work opportunity in your area.

"Immediate opening for summer work.

"No experience necessary.

"Call immediately."

(laughs) What?

- A J-O-B, huh?

- Yeah, it's just an interview.

My parents are making me go.

- And why do your parents want you to get a job?

- (sighing) Dude, please, I need your help.

Come on.

- I just don't see why you need me to go.

- Corporate people scare me, man,

and you know more about this stuff than I do.

Your dad has a 9-to-5, so please.

- I'm kinda in the middle of something, so--

- Come on, man, what are you jerking it?

- Hey, that information is proprietary.

Between me and the internet, so.

- I'll smoke you out.

(rock music)

- Let's go.

- Do you need to like change your shirt or something?

- No, this is business casual.

Come on, don't wanna be late.

King of the world, you know?

You gotta be like Leonardo DiCaprio on that shit,

like Titanic, you know?

'Cause you're about to make a James Cameron movie

up in this bitch.

You know what I'm saying?

That's how you gotta do it.

You just gotta be like, "I just made a $400 million movie,"

and that's all they'll care about.

You just go in with that sorta thing.

Corporate people are all about image and respect,

you know what I'm saying?

You gotta climb certain social ladders.

It's like high school.

Oh, dude, you gotta look.

- Stop, stop, stop, stop.

- And did you bring a cup of coffee?

- What, no, come on man, let's go.

- That's too bad, bosses love coffee.

Oh, and stay away from the copier.

(heavy bass electronic music)

- Great, we'll see you Tuesday at 3:00.

Okay, thanks, buh-bye.

You here for the interview?

- Good morning, madame.

Indeed, we are.

- Okay, what's your name.

- My name is Lord Byron, but please call me Lordy.

And this is my associate, Terrance.

You will find him eager, earnest, and

always eating organic.

You'd be a fool not to offer him the position.

- I'm just the receptionist.

But why don't you take these applications and have a seat?

If you finish early, feel free

to grab a magazine and relax.

Manager will be with you shortly.

- Thanks, let's go.

- Do you have "Architecture Today"?

I wanna work on my building!

- Hi, I'm calling back about your appointment tomorrow.

- Now, the position we're looking to fill

is a sales rep position.

Now, I like to be up front with you.

We are a direct sales company.

Now, who knows what that means?

Yes?

- You sell directly to the customer, so no advertising.

- Very good.

Customers don't come to us, we go to them.

However, we do not tolerate any cold calls or

door-to-door sales.

Now, why do you think that is?

Go ahead.

- They'll just slam the door in your face?

- Exactly, gives us a bad corporate image.

Nobody wants someone knocking on their door

trying to sell them something.

The way our program works is you get qualified

people that you know and then you get

references from there.

You find your own customers

and you're in business for yourself.

Now, it's not for everyone, but you're your own boss,

you make your own schedule,

and you decide how big your paycheck is

at the end of every week.

Plus, we have tons of fun.

(laughing)

I'll give you more details on the way our

program works later,

but I'd like to begin by showing you our product line.

Our main product is Sharpco cutlery.

We make the world's finest kitchen cutlery,

made with the highest-quality materials,

made right here in America.

Now, I'd like to show you a product

that demonstrates the quality of Sharpco.

These, our kitchen shears.

- Dude, that's scissors.

- [Tommy] Anybody got a penny?

- That's a pair of scissors.

- Thank you.

Check it out.

Huh?

Now, how do you think customers will react to that?

Yeah!

Give yourselves a round of applause!

(applause)

Okay!

Okay.

Thank you for coming.

So, what made you decide not to go to college?

- Uh, I didn't get in anywhere.

- You still living at your parents' house then?

- Yeah, mm-hmm.

- But you have a car?

- [Terrance] Mm-hmm, yeah.

- I see. (sighing)

Well, do you have any questions for me?

- Um, yeah, what are all these trophies for?

- It's PUSH period honors

It's a sales competition.

- Oh, that's cool.

So, like, the company awards 'em?

- Uh, yeah.

Well, thank you so much for coming.

We're gonna review all the applications

and we'll give you a call

if a position's available.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

- Look man, this is like the fifth time

I've heard that this week.

I understand that I didn't get good grades

and I have no experience, but I'm a really hard worker

and I learn really fast and I'll do whatever it takes.

You tell me what to do and I'll do it.

Just, please, just give me a chance.

Please.

- Are you available this weekend?

- Yeah, (laughs) yeah.

- These are the times for training.

You show up early, you dress sharp.

- Okay, (laughs) yeah, okay.

Thanks dude. (laughs)

Yeah, you won't regret it, man.

- Welcome to the San Diego Sharpco sales team!

- [Terrance] (laughs) Thank you, man.

- It's a scam, T.

Ask people you know? (laughs)

Find your own customers? (laughs)

Ask for people's phone numbers?

Come on!

When I ask for someone's phone number,

it's not to sell 'em some knives, you know what I'm sayin'?

- I don't know, it's better than a 9-to-5.

- Dude, think about the people at the interview.

- What about 'em?

- They were like babies, they were our age!

Even that manager, he was like,

I wanted to pinch his cheeks he was so young.

- So?

- So!

Dude, I bet that penny was fake.

We just graduated.

We should be surfin' and sexin', you know?

Smoking!

Oh, speaking of which.

(imitating trumpet)

- Are you serious, dude?

You've had that in your hair the whole time?

- Uh.

- But, what do you mean, "selling knives"?

You're not talking about weapons?

- (laughs) No, Sharpco.

It's a high-quality kitchen cutlery.

- Oh, so, in a store then?

- No, I set up appointments with customers

and do these little demonstrations, and that's it.

I can totally do that, Mom!

- Selling knives?

(laughs)

- That sounds a little bit like door-to-door sales.

- What, no.

I start with people I know and then ask for referrals.

- That just, that doesn't sound right.

- I get paid just to show it, and commission.

I can make so much money, Mom.

- Yeah, I understand that.

I just don't like the idea of this kinda job for you.

It's dangerous.

- Well, I got a job.

That's what you wanted, so I don't know what

else you want me to do.

- I want you to get a job, but I just don't want you to.

Bill, what are you doing home?

Bill.

Hey, I asked you a question, hon.

What's wrong?

- They let me go.

(water churning)

(horn blasting)

(low musical chant)

(gong resonating)

(electronic music)

- All right, long hair, what's your name?

- Terrance, sorry I'm late.

- Terrance Sorry-I'm-Late.

My name's Nick Gold.

My friends call me Nick.

You can call me Nick Gold.

I basically run the joint.

I'm the top salesman here, get used to it.

What's with the threads, Terrance?

- This is the only collared shirt I got, sorry.

- Ugh, that's gonna change.

All right, take a seat, will you?

- Hey, how's it goin'?

What's your name?

- [Mandy] Mandy.

- (laughs) What's up, Mindy?

My name's Terrance.

- Yes, I can see that.

- Gerald.

- What's up, dude?

Terrance.

- Think they're fooling anybody with this room? (laughs)

Yeah right.

- (laughs) What do you mean?

- I already scoped out all the trophies.

They're totally fakes.

- (laughs) Why would they buy fake trophies?

- Exactly.

- How's everyone doin' today?

- [Voiceover] Good.

- [Voiceover] All right.

- You guys ready to learn how to sell some knives?

- [Audience] Yeah!

- All right, that's fired up!

All right, we've got a lot to cover today,

so I'm gonna need your full attention.

Now, Ray Sharp, your San Diego/Imperial manager

is gonna be running training today.

He should be on his way right now.

(engine humming)

(electronic music)

He's running a little late, so I'm just gonna go ahead

and get started, no big deal.

(engine humming)

(tires squealing)

(electronic music)

- I have a quick question.

- Yeah, sure, go ahead, Gerald.

(electronic music)

(audience gasps)

- Isn't it true that you make us sell

to friends and family first

because they're more obligated to buy?

- All right, all right, we got another Michael Moron here.

It's all right.

Hey, this isn't your movie shoot.

Why don't you bowl for the exit?

- All right, Nick, let me handle this.

- All right, Tommy's gonna handle this.

- Look, Gerald, most entrepreneurs' first customers

are their friends and family.

Come on.

- Well, isn't it true that you make money off of our sales,

like a pyramid scheme?

- Do you even know what a pyramid scheme is?

(electronic music)

- (grumbles) You guys, you don't wanna work in this place.

It's a scam, obviously!

But we can stop it, today.

(clapping)

- Bravo, bravo.

Very inspirational speech.

Are you finished?

Good, 'cause I'm trying to run a business here

and you're currently wasting my time and money.

Now, if the position doesn't appeal to you, you can leave.

But please, don't interrupt my training class, all right?

That's just unprofessional.

Do you need help finding the door?

- This is gonna be on YouTube

as soon as I get back to my parents' house!

- [Ray] Sorry about that everyone.

- Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you all

to the man, your San Diego/Imperial manager, Ray Sharp.

- Ray Sharp!

(chuckling)

- How's everyone doing today?

All right, I can see we have

some pretty sharp kids here today.

(audience laughs lightly)

Surf's up, huh?

- Uh, mm-mmm.

- I said how's everyone doin' today?

(audience cheers) Yeah?

Are you ready to learn how to sell some knives?

(audience cheering)

I can't hear you.

(audience cheering)

Boom, good, fired up, that's what I love.

Now, the first thing you're gonna learn here today

are the names and uses of Sharpco,

the world's finest kitchen cutlery.

(audience cheers and applauds)

- Hey, long day, huh?

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna go get some food.

You hungry?

- No, I actually gotta get home.

- Oh yeah, okay, cool.

- Thanks though.

- See you tomorrow.

(electronic music)

(car horn honks)

- Hi, Mr. Hayes, this is Mandy with Sharpco.

How are you doin'?

(phones ringing)

Yeah, I got your message.

I'm just not too sure what the problem was.

You're saying that, I'm not sure that you're

actually supposed to use the knife for that purpose.

- Thirty throwing knives.

- Okay, yeah.

No, I perfectly understand why you'd wanna put it there.

I just don't really have a precedent for that.

I'm thinking I can maybe come in

and maybe show you a couple other ones.

Maybe this Tuesday, if you'd like?

- [Man In Purple] Sounds good, okay, cool.

- [Mandy] What works for you usually, morning or afternoon?

- [Man In Purple] If I can get your number--

- [Mandy] Sure, I've got any time between like 9am and

12 noon open right now,

so just take your pick and I'll meet you there.

(dial tone ringing)

(upbeat surf music)

(phone vibrating)

- Hello?

- Hello?

Greg?

Yeah, hey, what's up, man?

- Hey, I heard the phone.

- I'm calling 'cause I just got a new job and--

- Oh, congratulations.

- [Terrance] Thanks, dude.

- [Greg] Yeah.

- I was wondering, um, if I could set up an appointment.

I have to make appointments with adults

to practice on and I was wondering

if I could come over and practice on your mom?

- (coughs) You wanna practice on my mom?

- Uh, yeah, is she home?

- Who is this?

- It's Terrance.

- Oh, (laughs) Terrance.

Yeah, no, she's not here right now, man.

Went to the Super (stammers), Circle K.

- Okay, uh, all right.

Well, thanks anyways, man.

- (laughs) Cool man.

- [Terrance] All right, bye. - [Greg] Bye.

(phones ringing)

- [Mandy] Hi, Ms. Schwartz, how are you doing today?

Yeah, I did get your message.

I think that would be a wonderful idea.

We're actually selling a lot of those fishing sets

and sporting sets with the holidays coming up.

(dial tone ringing)

(rock music)

(phone vibrating)

- Hello?

- Hey, uh, Tyler?

- Uh, who is this?

- Hey, what's up, man, it's Terrance.

- What do you want, I'm kinda busy right now.

- Uh, just real quick,

I just got a new job and as part of my training,

I have to set up appointments to meet with customers.

And I was wondering if I could meet

with your mom and practice on her?

- Dude, look, don't call here anymore.

All right, bye.

- Dammit!

- Afternoon, you can have your pick.

I got 3:00, 4:00, or 5:00.

Any of those times?

(phones ringing)

Perfect.

All right.

(dial tone ringing)

(rock music)

(phone vibrating)

- Like a Big Mac but without the trans fat, It's Zac.

- Hey, Zac, what's up man?

- Terr, where you been, dude?

I've been like calling and texting all week.

Yo man, you better be in love with some crazy beach baby

or something to be ditching me like that

'cause that's not cool.

- Yeah, I know, sorry man.

I just, I've been really busy working.

- What?

You took that job?

- Yeah, look, I got a lot going on right now.

I'll tell you about it later.

But, I'm calling 'cause I was wondering

if I could set up appointment with your mom.

Is there any--

- No, no, no.

You must be crazy if you think you're talking to my mom.

- Come on man, please!

I really need your help right now.

- Dude, what is with you?

- My parents made me get the job, all right?

They're being dicks about it.

I promise I'll set up surf time with us in a couple weeks.

But right now, I just need to do this,

so please help me out, okay?

- Fine.

Hold on one second, buddy.

- Thank you.

- Ma!

Ma, Terrance wants to ask you something!

(jazz music) - Terrance?

Terrance? - [Zac] On the phone, yeah.

- [Terrance] Hi. - [Zac's Mom] Hello?

- Hello?

Hi, Mrs. Zimmerman?

- Oh, hi, Terrance, how are you?

It's Terrance. - [Terrance] I'm good.

- [Zac] I know it's Terrance.

- How are you?

Uh, build rapport.

- Excuse me?

- Um.

- [Mrs. Zimmerman] I can't hear him.

- I mean, I mean, how are you?

- Oh, just fantastic.

How are you?

I never get to see you anymore

because Zachary always goes to your house.

I don't know why.

- 'Cause of the pool, and the smoking.

- My pool.

- Well, the reason I was calling is I just got this new job.

And as part of my training,

I have to find adults to practice on.

So, I was wondering if I'd be able

to come over and practice on you?

- Terrance, what is this about?

- Uh, it's for Sharpco.

Have you heard of it before?

It's, uh.

- No, I haven't.

- Well, okay, it's a high-quality kitchen cutlery.

I'm sure you already have a nice pair of kitchen knives,

but that's great because I can just get your opinion on it.

- Oh, you know what?

We do have a knife set, but we got it when we

were first married, which is a really long time ago.

- Oh, yeah, that's lovely.

I get paid for every appointment,

so you'd really be helping me out.

- Well, um, all right, all right.

All right, that would be fine.

- Yes, okay!

Is tomorrow at nine or ten thirty better for you?

- [Zac] Can't miss that. - Nine would be fine.

- [Zac] Nine, no, no, that's-- - We could do nine.

- Nine o'clock, okay, great.

Well, you have a great day, okay?

- Oh, and you have a good day too.

And we'll see you tomorrow.

- [Zac] Let me talk to Terrance.

- Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing you

tomorrow at nine o'clock.

- Hey, let me talk to Terrance.

Yo dude, do you wanna go.

Hello?

(bell ringing)

- Woo, I got my first appointment!

Oh shit, I'm sorry man.

- Oh yeah, no, it's fine.

There's just a dog barking outside.

Yeah, this Friday is great.

(gun firing)

- [Voiceover] Oh, that's what I said!

- I need to know how to make a lot of money.

- Win the PUSH.

- Hey, don't give the kid any false hope.

We all know I'm gonna win.

- Yeah, I saw the trophies,

I just don't really get what it is.

- It's one of the biggest sales competitions of the year,

two weeks of pushing yourself to your limits.

And the entire Sharpco Salesforce comes out

and brings out the big guns and shows what they've got.

- Ah!

- I once saw a sales rep push $75,000 in two weeks.

- (laughs) Holy bejeebers!

What do you get if you win?

- Well, the rep that sells the most

takes home the sales rep championship trophy.

It's the biggest trophy you have ever seen.

- Hey, Tommy Salami, don't forget about that $5K bonus.

- Yeah, what are you gonna do with that chump change?

- I already spent it.

Oh, suck my dick, Tommy! (laughs)

- What'd you spend it on?

- Can't tell you, Terrance.

- Why not?

- Let's just say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

- So, how do you know you're gonna win?

- Nick, he's one of the top salesmen

in our company right now.

And he's on the national schedule call every week

and Ray says it's his time to shine.

- And Ray does not like to be wrong.

Oh, yes!

That is how it's done.

See that, Terrance?

- What if you don't win?

- (laughs) Shut up.

- I'm just kidding man, sorry. (laughs)

Excited for tomorrow?

- Yeah, a little nervous I guess.

- I think I'm gonna go get some ice cream to celebrate.

- Enjoy it.

- Well, I mean, you can come if you want.

I'd like you to come.

- I'm sorry, I can't.

I actually gotta go put the horses to sleep.

- Oh, okay.

Wait, are you one of those equestrians?

- Yes, actually.

- That's so cool.

I mean, I've always wanted to ride a horse.

- Have a good night, Terrance.

- Good night, Mandy.

- Hey, Terrance!

Hey, Terr bear, come here!

Terrance, you wanna know how to get a girl like that?

- Nick, shut up, don't encourage him.

- Tommy, up yours.

- Shut up.

Probably not a good idea to dip your pen in company ink,

if you know what I mean.

- His quill's never touched paper.

- Don't listen to John Travolta here, okay?

- John Travolta?

Jackie Chan.

(laughing) - Shut up, all right?

Get some sleep, guys.

- Oh, Papa Tommy, get some sleep.

(car signal beeping)

- Beep, beep, beep, beep. (laughs)

Two words, Terrance: pleasant persistence.

Ah, girls love the chase.

You gotta keep pursuing 'em, Terrance.

She says no, you don't let a no-sayer shake your confidence.

Brush it off, brush it off your shoulders.

Here, do it with me.

Brush off your shoulders.

That's right.

You gotta act as if.

You know act as if, Terrance?

Act as if you got 10 girls' names right there

on a little pad next to your telephone, huh?

Each one of 'em dying for Terrance's call.

Terrance's call.

- Yeah, I guess I never thought of it like that. (laughs)

- It's just sales.

(laughs)

It can be applied to anything.

All right, take it easy.

Oh, oh, do me a favor.

Sell some goddamn knives tomorrow.

Ha-hah!

(imitates gun firing)

- Hey, can I ask you a question?

- Eh, shoot.

- How do you do it?

- [Nick] Do what?

- [Terrance] Sell.

- Presentation.

Why do you think I wear this tie?

Because I love it?

No, yes I do.

- Well, you think you can teach me?

- No, it's PUSH right now.

I'm really busy.

- Yeah, I know, but is there anything I can do

just so I can watch and learn?

Come on man, please.

You wouldn't even know I was there.

- All right, you can be my trainee.

- [Terrence] Really?

- Yeah.

- [Terrance] Dude, thank you man!

- Hey, Terrance!

Do you not understand?

You gotta be able to give up everything

if you wanna be a champion.

- All right.

- No. no pain, no gain.

No drugs, you gotta stay sober.

I stay sober almost all the time.

- [Terrence] All right, fine.

- All right, fine?

You clearly don't understand.

Even if you're down on your deathbed,

(coughs) dying, and God himself comes to you and he says,

"Terrance, I need you in Heaven to be an angel with me,"

you gotta be prepared

to say, "I'm sorry Lord,

"I still gotta sell one more Sharpco knife set before I go."

Don't laugh.

How do you sell a freezer to an Eskimo?

- I have no idea.

- You throw in a space heater for free.

Ha!

(laughs)

Terrance, I'm not worried about you.

By the time I'm done with you,

you are going to be a blade-slinging machine.

(engine revving)

(hip-hop music)

Schmuck.

- Let me begin by thanking you for letting me come over.

I know you're probably super busy,

so I appreciate your time.

I'd like to share with you today

a high-quality product called Sharpco.

- Terrance, you're doing just fine.

- (laughs) Thanks.

(giggling)

Sharpco has been manufactured for,

Sharpco has been manufactured with the highest-quality

materials right here in America since 1970.

- Terrance, would you like some lemonade?

- (laughs) Yeah.

- I'll get it for you.

- Thanks.

Dude, can you please just get outta here?

- No, I'm staying.

- I'm gonna be here for a while

and I would really appreciate it if you'd just not--

- Dude, I need to make sure that you don't embarrass me.

You're already doing things that are stupid.

- Here you go.

- Oh, thank you.

- Some nice, cold lemonade.

Stop it, put your feet down.

You're being rude.

- This is really good.

- He's trying very hard.

- Thank you so much.

- Go ahead, Terrance.

- Well, to start off, I'd like to show you a product

that demonstrates the quality of Sharpco.

Um, do you have a penny?

- I'm sorry, Terrance, I don't.

- Heyo!

- [Mrs. Zimmerman] Zachary.

- Thanks, Zac.

These are our kitchen,

I mean, these are our kitchen shears.

They are extra durable

and my favorite thing is that it does this.

They can cut through a, yeah, they can, they do.

- I knew that penny was fake.

(grunting)

- Oops.

- Okay, we got two rules today, all right?

Rule numero del uno, you are my trainee.

I introduce you as my trainee,

you behave like my trainee, you are my trainee.

Make nice, shake hands, yadda-yadda-yadda,

et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Now, rule number two, don't talk.

Words only come out of my mouth.

I don't wanna hear a mouse fart out of your lips, all right?

That is, unless they specifically ask you a question,

in which case you answer or you sound like a retard

and I sound like the trainer of a retard.

- Okay.

- God, Terrance, what's with the shirt?

- What?

- Did you bring a change?

- No, that's the only shirt I got.

- Terrance, you make me wanna cry.

All right, you need a tie.

Here, grab the wheel.

We're gonna crash if you don't grab the wheel.

- [Terrance] Okay. - [Nick] All right, here.

Look, blue tie, beautiful.

It matches, wonderful, meant to be.

All right.

Jason, Tara.

Tara, Jason.

Jason, Tara, Tara, Jason.

Tara, you're lookin' beautiful.

Terrance, what the hell are you doing?

You don't know how to tie a tie, do you?

Look at that stupid thing!

Take it off.

You're gonna make me puke.

I'm gonna slap your daddy upside the head.

All right.

- Oh dude, sick house.

- Yeah, well, when you've been doing this as long as I have,

you got references to choose from.

And let me tell you, Terrance, rich people

always refer other rich people.

Let's be realistic here folks, this is a great deal!

- (laughs) Now, let's not get pushy.

- Oh Jason, now, I see where you're coming from,

no, no, no, no, no.

But I'm not being pushy, I'm being passionate,

because I love these knives and it is my job

to get you what you want at a price you like.

- For the cooking we do, I think the 18-piece set

is all the knives we need.

- Ding, ding, ding,

Tara's absolutely right.

You got a smart girl here.

But let's keep brainstorming, spitball.

Anybody who have an idea,

just shout it out as it comes to you.

Party, party, what about a party?

You throw a party.

And you got the Johnsons, you got the Jones,

George Clooney makes an appearance. (laughs)

Just kidding.

But seriously, people schmoozin', boozin',

takin' in the abode until their eyes land

right on those beautiful

granite counter tops you have in the kitchen.

Tara, beautiful choice.

We have very similar taste.

It's like an empty stage, spotlight right in the middle.

What do we put there?

Not the 18-piece, but the 32-piece cherry wood box set.

- (laughs) What about all this free stuff

you were talking about?

- You know, I think we made a mistake coming here.

- What do you mean?

- I just don't think our product's right for you.

Come on, Terrance.

Pack it up.

- All right, all right.

We'll take it.

- Well, if you twist my arm, (laughing) wonderful decision!

You will not regret this.

Very good.

- Dude, that was insane.

I thought you were gonna leave.

How the heck did you do that?

- Terr bear, Terr bear, you're gonna wet your pants.

It ain't rocket science, okay?

House like that, you know they're rich,

you know they got money, so it's not about that.

You just gotta tell 'em whatever they need to hear

to make the sale.

Then, it's like selling barbecued brains to zombies.

- So, you mean, like lie to 'em?

(laughing)

Oh Jesus!

It ain't no lie as long as you dress it up

in a nice suit and tie.

Oh God, all right, what's the total for today?

- Dude, it's like $1,500.

- $1,500, good.

That puts me at, $4,600, that's $6K for the PUSH, baby!

Yeah, yes!

- You're gonna do it, man.

- I already got a nice place in my trophy case for her.

Look at her.

Nice rack, beautiful broad, good girl!

- So, when's the PUSH over?

- Got a week.

- Oh my, dude, you're gonna do it, man!

You're gonna do it!

- Hey, woah, woah, woah!

Terrance, watch the merchandise, Jesus.

You break it, you buy it.

Oh, oh, oh, hey, shh, shh, shh.

This is the best part, listen up.

- [Voiceover] Why are some people driven to succeed

when others make excuses and sit on their butts all day?

Why is that?

It's because they

choose to. - [Nick] Choose to.

- [Voiceover] Ladies and gentlemen, success is a choice.

- Oh, this guy's so fired up!

- Who is this?

- Nobody knows.

See, that's the thing.

Ray recorded this when he won his first PUSH 16 years ago

when he was still a sales rep,

doesn't remember the guy's name.

Look, moral of the story is, every sales rep

who has ever owned this recording has won a PUSH.

Better keep it safe.

Just kidding, listen to it on the way to your demos, kid.

- Wow, dude, I can't take that.

- Terrance, I don't need your charity.

I'm offering you a gift here.

I already got the whole thing mesmerized anyway.

Take the CD.

- Oh, dude.

- [Nick] It is yours.

- Thank you, man.

- [Voiceover] You're being kinda pushy, Mr. Terrance.

- Oh, Ben, I'm sorry if I seem pushy.

I just, I know you like what you see

and I wanna make sure that you want what you like,

you get what you want what you like

and for the price that you wanna.

- How much for just this one?

- Actually, I can't sell knives individually.

- You're not allowed to sell the knives individually?

- Well, yeah, I could get in a lot of trouble for it.

- Sure.

- Well, here, let me tell you what.

Since you like the French knife and the spreader knife,

is there any other knife that you like here?

I can probably give you guys something for free.

- I like this one.

- Oh, great.

That's the mini carver, and that's a good knife.

So, yeah, if you get these three knives,

I will give you the kitchen shears for free.

Is that something you'd like to do today?

- I guess.

- Wait, what?

(stammers)

- We'll take them.

- (laughs) Yes!

Okay, congratulations.

(awkward laughing)

- Don't touch me!

- Okay.

(electronic music)

- Well done, Terrance.

How do you feel?

- I feel pretty good.

- Good.

- I mean, I need some more, but--

- Congratulations, Terrance.

You are now officially a Sharpco sales rep.

Beautiful!

- Thanks, buddy.

Hey, Mandy!

- (laughs) This kid just won't give up.

- Hey, I got a question for you.

- What?

- Do you like yogurt?

(laughing)

Come on, you have to, who doesn't?

- Well.

- Come on, it'll be fun.

- Fine, but I've only got an hour.

(light pop music)

- So, what are you gonna do after this summer?

- Gonna go to USD for business management.

My dad wants me to take over the family business.

- What does your family do?

- Commercial real estate.

- Does that interest you?

- No.

I wanna train horses and own my own stables.

What about you?

- I don't really know.

I mean, I guess surf?

(laughs)

I don't know.

As long as I can remember, that's all I wanted to do, so.

- Why do you like surfing so much?

- Um, well, I mean, I don't know.

When you're out there, it's kinda like riding a horse.

(laughing)

What, what?

- I'm sorry, that's the cheesiest line

I think I've ever heard.

- That was a line?

- That was a line, yes. (laughs)

- Oh, okay, I didn't know. (laughs)

- What's a surf bum like you want with selling knives?

- (laughs) You know, good ol' work experience,

looks good on a resume.

Work up that ladder.

(laughing)

- You are such a bad liar.

- No.

No, well, my dad lost his job,

so I had to get a job to help out my family

and Sharpco's the only company that took me in.

- I'm sorry to hear that.

- Well, you should be, it's all your fault.

(laughing)

- You jerk! (laughs)

Are you always this charming?

- [Terrance] I guess not.

- [Mandy] Didn't think so.

- $132?

Boom, baby!

(laughing)

- [Bill] Can you smell what

Papa's got cooking? - Oh, honey!

What the hell is this?

- It's chicken.

(groaning)

- It's black. (laughs)

- Don't touch it!

We've gotta say grace, gotta say grace.

Come on, everybody.

Dear God, thank you for this food. (laughs)

Well, thank you for this family

and thank you for Terrance's job.

But please God, if you wouldn't mind,

just make Terrance's next paycheck bigger. (laughs)

- Give him a break, it's his first job.

- (laughs) Oh yeah.

Oh, one other thing God, if you could please

help my husband find a new job, I'd really appreciate it,

'cause he obviously can't do it on his own.

(laughing)

Sorry.

Amen!

(laughing)

- I think what she's trying to say is

we're very proud of you.

- Thanks.

- You're not gonna make me the bad cop here, are you, Bill?

I mean, it was $100.

- 132, thank you very much.

- Honey, I don't think it's enough.

- Well, I mean, once I start selling more and getting more

qualified customers, there's no limit to how

much I can make, Mom.

- I'm sorry, baby.

I think you gotta get a new job.

- [Terrance] What?

- No, that's not necessary.

- Look, I knew this wouldn't work right from the start.

Nobody will listen to me.

- We had no choice, Kaitlin.

- Honey, we can't pay our rent this month!

Come on!

- Think you've had enough wine for one night?

- I'm gonna drink as much as I want.

- Not in front of the kids, okay?

- You know, Bill, the extra responsibility of being

the sole breadwinner in this family has caused me a

lot of undue stress and I need a drink to relax.

Cheers.

- Can we just have one night without arguing?

Just one nice family dinner?

- Baby, I'm not arguing.

Mmm, mmm.

- For the kids.

- Oh, you are just so tough.

Oh, Bill, (laughs) you're so dramatic.

- Somebody's had a little too much firewater.

- I'm sorry, guys.

Kaitlin!

(chuckling)

You see these, Bill?

Do you see this?

This is pants.

(chuckling)

Right here.

I'm wearing the pants in the family, honey,

and I'm not gonna listen to anybody else.

- That's a skirt, honey.

(laughing)

- Oh, that is so funny.

- Let it go, let it go, you've had enough.

- [Kaitlin] You are so kidding me.

- [Bill] You've had enough. - [Kaitlin] No.

- Give me the damn bottle now.

Let go of the bottle!

(cork popping)

(crashing)

Great.

Nice.

- Out!

- Excuse me?

- Just get out!

- Kaitlin, it's a shirt.

Just relax.

- I want you out of my house.

- Mom, come on.

- Oh, your house?

- I pay the bills around here and I want you out!

- Guys, just take a deep breath and chill, Jesus.

- Okay, done.

- Mom, what are you doing?

- He's just, he's bluffing.

- You know what, it's clear to me

that you don't give a shit about keeping this

family together anymore, and I can't do it by myself.

I'm done!

- That's such a crock, and you know it!

- What are you doing?

God!

Dad!

(water churning)

(low horn blowing)

(chimes ringing)

(low chanting)

(gong resonating)

(applause)

(electronic music)

- Only two reps left in the PUSH period

competition sales countdown,

and they've both sold over $10,000

of Sharpco in the last two weeks.

Let's give 'em a round of applause!

(cheering)

All right, let's see where we finished up.

If you sold less than $10,500, please step forward.

$11,000?

$11,500?

$12,000?

How high are these guys gonna go?

$12,500?

$13,000?

Oh, this one's gonna be close, ladies and gentlemen.

Between $12,500 and $12,600?

$12,600 to $12,700?

To $12,800?

(audience gasps)

It's close.

Between $12,700 and $12,750.

Looks like we have a winner, ladies and gentlemen.

(cheering)

- Don't worry guys, he'll be fine.

- You'll win it next time, man.

- I don't deserve it, Terrance.

- Come on, don't say that.

- Terrance, you don't understand.

- I don't get it, what do you mean?

- I sold $700 worth of knives to myself

and I still didn't win.

- Hey.

- [Terrence] Hey.

- I made your uh, your favorite, pineapple pancakes.

- Yeah, I see that.

Thank you.

- I know I messed up.

I'm so sorry.

(sobs and laughs nervously)

- Oh, Mom.

Why don't you just call him and apologize?

- What if he's already talking to a divorce attorney?

I mean, what if he's slept with that

stupid young bimbo down at the restaurant.

- I don't think he'd do that.

- Well, I'll tell you, I called him

and I called him all night.

And he has not returned my phone calls.

- I just think he needs some time.

- Would you just, maybe call him for me?

- What?

- I mean, just call him to talk to him a little bit.

- You want me to talk to him?

- I'm sorry to put this on you,

I just know that he will talk to you.

Just give him a call and

tell him that you miss him and tell him I miss him.

(slow piano music)

- Drink up.

- I'm actually really not that thirsty, so.

- Oh, drink up, Terrance.

- Okay, sure.

Thank you, it's good, mm-hmm.

- So, Terrance, do you have a girlfriend?

- Not really.

- That's a shame.

(giggling)

- So, you wanna get started?

- I thought that we could just chat a little bit

first maybe, you know?

I mean, don't you wanna build up

a rapport with your customer?

- Yeah, I would, but I actually,

I have another appointment after this,

so I really gotta get going.

- You know what, don't worry.

I mean, you don't have to give me your whole spiel.

I'll buy some of your knives.

- Great, thank you.

I actually know the perfect set for you, so--

- There's just something

that I need you to help me with first.

- Uh, okay, what do you need help with?

- Why don't you come upstairs and I'll show you?

- Mrs. Anderson, I just, I don't think--

- Please, call me Kitty.

Meow.

Meow.

(awkward laughing) Meow.

(door sliding open)

Oh.

(somber music)

* Everything's gonna be all right

* Everything's gonna be all right *

(whistling)

(tongue clucking)

- Can I help you?

- Yeah, I was looking for a guy named Zac?

- Zac.

Can't say I've ever heard of a fella named Zac.

- Come on, man, I came to apologize.

- Good luck.

(laughing)

- I quit.

- Good, 'bout time.

- Look dude, I had to take that job

'cause my dad got fired, so that's what happened.

- Why didn't you tell me that?

I feel like an ass.

- My mom actually kicked him out of the house.

- What, why?

- Uh, I don't know.

I don't wanna talk about my family drama, man.

- You don't wanna talk about anything.

I'm supposed to be your best friend.

And instead of talking about something, you just disappear.

- Yeah, yeah.

Look dude, uh,

my mom, she got pissed 'cause

I didn't make enough money on that first check so

they got in this big fight over money

and then she kicked him out.

- That really sucks, dude.

I'm sorry.

- Yeah, it sucks, but, you know.

You know my parents are always fucking fighting. (laughs)

I just wanted to let you know, man, I'm sorry.

I mean, I should've listened to you.

That company was a scam.

- It's cool, dude.

- [Terrance] Forget about all this?

- [Zac] Oh, I've got ways to forget about all this

(laughing)

(rock music)

(footsteps thumping)

(cat meowing)

- [Mandy] Terrance.

Terrance.

Terrance!

- (groans) I'll clean it up, Jesus!

(groans)

Mandy?

- What happened in here?

- [Terrance] What?

- This place looks like a tornado hit.

(groaning)

My head.

- You haven't been answering your phone.

Are you trying to ignore me?

- What are you doing here?

- You just disappeared.

Everybody's wondering what happened to you.

- I quit.

- Were you planning on telling me?

- Tell everyone I'm sorry I didn't give my two-week notice.

- I don't really think they care, but I do.

- Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

- You can't just disappear like that?

What don't you understand about that?

- If you have something to say to me, then say it.

But if not, then I need to go get some water

or else I'm probably gonna throw up all over you.

- I knew you just wanted to get in my pants.

- [Terrance] What?

- Who the heck was that?

(sighing)

- Girl of my dreams, man.

Girl of my dreams.

- She's in love with you, dude.

(vomitting)

- Oh dude, that's Tigger's box.

- When did we have cheesy puffs?

- I quit that stupid job.

- You tell your mother yet?

- Not yet.

- This isn't something you should keep from her.

- What's the point of telling her, she's just gonna be like,

"Oh, I told you so (imitating chatter)."

Make me feel like shit.

- You know, your mother really needs you right now,

more than ever.

- I think we have a lot bigger issues

to deal with than making money.

- That may be, but you still need to put food on the table.

- So, if I make a whole bunch of money, you'll come back?

- It's not fair, but it's what makes the world go 'round.

Look, this job is a great opportunity for you, all right?

And you can learn a lot.

Why don't you just give it another shot?

- What's the point of making money

if you don't have a family to share it with?

(sensual blues guitar)

(beeping)

- Is Dad coming back?

- I don't know, bud.

- You have to do something.

- I just don't think there's anything I can do.

I just think we need to wait it out, you know?

- I don't want two Christmases.

Do you?

(electronic music)

- And when customers are not up for that set, you say,

"That's all right, I think I have the perfect set for you,"

and you present them the eight-piece set.

And that is what we call "dropping down."

Looking sharp, Terrance.

- I'm gonna need some order forms.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Is that what she said?

Hold on.

- Can I talk to you for a second?

- Close the door.

I'm gonna have to call you back.

All right, bye.

What can I do for you, Terrance?

- How much do I need to sell to be able to win PUSH?

(chuckling)

Nick's gonna win.

- That's what everyone said last time.

- Well, everyone goes for $10K.

If you wanna win, go for $15K.

- Okay, well how many appointments is that?

- What's your average order?

- Uh, I don't know.

- Well, first, calculate your average order

based on previous sales, and then break it down.

Based on your average order, how many sales will it

take to get to $15K?

What's your closing percentage?

Use that to calculate how many pennies you have to cut.

Divide by 14 and you'll know how many appointments

you have to go on everyday of the PUSH.

- Wow, uh, all right.

- Anything else?

- Uh, yeah, actually.

How do you get over the fact that you're selling?

You know what I mean?

(laughing)

That's sales, Terrance.

That's your job.

- Yeah, I know.

I just, sometimes I feel like

I'm BS-ing my customers, you know?

Kinda like a car salesman or something.

- Let me ask you a question.

Why do you think Tommy accepted you into the team?

In your interview, Tommy told me

you told him you were a good worker,

you were quick to learn, you were loyal, all that stuff.

You were selling him.

Only, the product you were selling was you.

If you wanna be successful at anything in this world,

you gotta know how to sell.

And this is the place to learn.

- [Nick] Guess who just sold a 32-piece set?

Nick did!

Boom, bitches!

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!

- Yeah, you see, Nick sells a lot

because he's good at convincing the customer

to buy what he wants them to buy, all right?

And that works for him, but that's not what sales is about.

It's about getting to know your customers wants and needs

and then showing 'em how your product

satisfies those needs.

- Okay.

- Follow me?

- Yeah, mm-hmm.

- Nick, get in here!

- Ray, Ray, Ray.

Lookin' at 1,700 smackeroonies right here.

Read 'em and weep, Terrance.

- [Ray] What's your PUSH goal?

- $15K.

- Attaboy, got any extra leads?

- You know me, Ray, I'm swimming in 'em.

- Good, then you wouldn't mind giving Terrance a few.

- What?

- His goal is also $15K

and he could use a little extra help.

- Ray, of course.

- All right, anything else?

- No, I'm good.

- No, thank you though.

- Good, 'cause I gotta get home

and get my kids some lunch.

Just remember, the product is not the knives,

the product is you.

If they like you, they'll buy.

Nice haircut.

- Thanks.

- Well, well, well.

Terry, Terry, sugarplum fairy.

$15K, is that so?

Terrance, you know you're not gonna win that trophy.

- Look, Nick, I'm not trying to beat you, all right?

I just really need the money right now.

(laughing)

You're adorable, Terrance.

You're gonna make me puke puppies and rainbows.

Quit it, will you?

All right, one.

One reference.

Take him.

- Who's Tom Dalton?

- Who's Tom Dalton, only the biggest high-roller

that ever rolled.

But, word of advice, save him for the end of the PUSH.

You always wanna build up your momentum

before you go see the whales.

- Okay.

Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

- Hey, thank you, Terrance.

- I'll talk to you soon.

I've got a lot of work to do.

- [Voiceover] Your thoughts are your reality,

ladies and gentlemen.

Now, let me repeat that.

Your thoughts are your reality.

You are what you think,

so don't give in to fears and obstacles.

You are the only thing standing in the way of what you want.

So, if you want something, just go out there and get it.

How do you sell a freezer to an Eskimo, Terrance?

(supernatural music)

- Throw in a space heater for free.

- [Voiceover] Incorrect.

- Then how?

- [Voiceover] First, build rapport.

Establish a personal connection.

Explain the benefits of

keeping the Eskimo's fish protected from bacteria and

at a consistent temperature to avoid freezer burn.

Then, ask for the sale.

- You've brought me nothing but suffering.

- [Voiceover] Remember, you are your product.

If they like you, they will buy.

(low horn blasting)

(chimes ringing)

(eerie echoing music)

- This is all we have.

(upbeat guitar music)

- Is that something you'd like to do today?

- I don't know.

- It seems kinda pricey.

- Is it possible to get the stove utensils

and the snack pack for free?

- [Voiceover] First, set a goal.

And visualize it every single day.

You've gotta be willing to make sacrifices.

Cut out everything and everybody in your life

that does not directly help you towards you goal.

- I'm sorry, George, I don't think I can do that.

But, I'll tell you what, which do you like more,

the stove utensils or the snack pack?

- I love the snack pack.

I could use it every day.

- I love the stove utensils.

I do, they're beautiful.

- [Voiceover] Break down your goal

into small tasks that you can do every day.

- How 'bout we bump it up to a 32-piece set?

You'd get that barbecue knife that you love.

Plus, I just might be able to throw in

the stove utensils and the snack pack for free.

(bell ringing)

- [Voiceover] Some people want it to happen,

some people wish it would happen.

Others make it happen.

Which kind of person are you?

- So, is that something you'd like to do today?

- [Both] Absolutely!

- Yes, yes! - [Man] We'll take it.

- [Both] Definitely.

- We'll take all of them, (cheering) all of them.

- [Voiceover] It's not easy.

It's not like you flip a switch.

Sometimes, doing what you dreamed takes time, effort,

hard work, knowledge, money, skill, et cetera.

So, let's (sneezing) break down further.

(sneezing)

What do you need to be able to achieve your dreams?

Well, first you need a dream.

Let's call that intention.

What else?

You gotta have a reason why, let's call that inspiration.

(coughing)

Intention plus inspiration plus action

equals the manifestation of your dream.

This is the secret formula of success, guys.

So, let's talk about it.

It's very simple.

You can apply it to anything.

If you wanna become a lawyer, you've got your intention.

- I need $2,500.

How the hell am I gonna do that in one appointment?

(van engine sputtering)

Oh, no, no, no, no, come on.

- [Voiceover] Obstacles are inevitable.

(electronic music)

(violent coughing)

- [Voiceover] You may think that these challenges

are signs that you're going against the flow,

but it's quite the opposite.

That's really just the universe

telling you that you're doing something right.

Pain is temporary.

Quitting lasts forever.

Remember that guy who gave up?

Neither does anybody else.

Don't let obstacles get in your way.

I promise, when you hit your goal,

it'll never happen the way that you expect.

You've just gotta stay the course, no matter what happens.

No fatigue is felt on the day of victory.

No fatigue is felt, on the day of victory.

(panting)

- What the hell is this?

Dammit, Nick, you asshole.

(knocking)

Hey, Tom, I'm Terrance.

It's nice to meet you.

- You're late.

- Yeah, I know, I had a little car trouble,

but I'm here now.

- What the hell happened to you?

- What do you mean?

- You're all bloody and dirty.

- No I'm not.

- Your hand's dripping blood.

- Yeah, it's just a little cut.

- You smell like shit.

- Look, you have no idea what I went through to get here.

- You know, I'm not comfortable with this anymore, kid.

I'm sorry, no.

- No, no, no, no, no.

Just give me 15 minutes, okay?

Just 15 minutes of your time.

If you don't like what you see, you can kick me out,

punch me in the face, do whatever you want.

But please, just give me a chance.

- Let's get this over with.

Come on, let's go.

(harmonica music)

- Uh, thanks for having me over, Tom.

I know you're probably super busy,

so I appreciate your time.

- Uh-huh.

- So, how are you enjoying your vacation so far?

- Vacation?

- Uh, yeah, your trailer?

- This is my home.

- Uh, well how do you like living in a trailer?

- It's spectacular.

- So, your wife not home right now?

- Does it look like I'm married?

- Well, I was under the impression you were, sorry.

- Divorced.

- So, what do you do?

(laughing)

Oh man, you thought I was one of those

rich old assholes in a big ol' beach house

with a beautiful young trophy wife, didn't you?

- Yeah, I guess I was wrong.

- Well, you know, you got the old part right,

and the asshole part.

Retired.

Mostly, I just fish, surf a little.

- Oh, you surf?

- I'm old, I'm not senile.

- What do you ride?

- Old school 10-footer like back in the day.

See that picture?

That's North Shore right there.

- What?

You surfed North Shore?

- Hell yeah.

- [Terrance] That's like my dream spot, man.

- Hey, I have surfed Bali, Indo, Pipe, Costa Rica, 'Nam.

Hell, kid, you name it, I've surfed it.

- So, what are you doing here?

I mean, I'd be kicking it in Hawaii if I were you.

- It was when I was young.

Couldn't do that now.

Listen, you want a beer?

- Oh, no thanks.

- Okay, well listen, Terrance, before we start,

I just wanna get one thing clear.

Do you know what that is?

- It's a very large knife.

- That is a KA-BAR.

I've had that knife over 30 years.

It's the only knife I've ever needed.

It's cut fish, rope, wood.

It's still sharp as a whip.

Even saved my life once.

Can your dinky little kitchen knives do that?

I didn't think so.

Listen, I don't have any money,

so I'm not gonna be buying any knives today,

but even if I was loaded, I wouldn't be buying anything.

Nothing, nothing can replace my KA-BAR.

Got it?

- Yes sir.

- Great, well then, let's see what you got.

(belches)

Excuse me, Go ahead.

- So, is that something you'd like to do today?

- I have to tell you, Terrance,

when you first came here, I thought you were crazy,

but you've got one hell of a fine product here.

- Thank you sir.

- But like I said, this is the only knife

I'm ever gonna need.

- Yeah, well,

what kind of things do you usually like to cook?

- Mostly fish.

If you had a good fillet knife, I might go for that.

- Well, maybe it's time you started cooking more,

you know, started looking after your health.

(laughing)

- Ah kid, you can't teach

an old dog new tricks, at least not this old dog.

- Well, I mean, we do have some great gift sets.

Christmas is just around the corner.

- No friends, except for the fish.

- Come on, Tom, an old dude like you

has gotta have some friends.

What about your family?

- What did you just say?

- I mean, you've gotta have some friends or family, right?

- I got no family.

- I'm sorry, did I say something I shouldn't have?

- You know, you're a little fuckin' pushy.

- I know, I'm sorry.

- A young grommet like you should be out on the waves,

hanging with your buds, scopin' out the chicks.

Why the hell are you doin' this?

- My dad got laid off and um,

I had to get a job to help pay the bills

'cause my parents got in a big fight over money and uh,

they split up.

There's this conference tomorrow that I invited them to.

It's like a big sales competition.

I had a goal of selling $15,000

so they could come and see me win

and, I don't know, make a bunch of money or whatever.

(scoffs) Sounds so stupid saying it out loud.

- Why would that sound stupid?

- What would winning a competition do for my family?

- Hey, you never catch that wave

unless you paddle out to it.

- Yeah, well, you're my very last appointment

and I am $2,500 away from my goal.

Well, I guess I thought that you were loaded

and would wanna buy a bunch of knives or something.

(laughs)

Look, Tom, sorry I wasted your time.

You all right?

- Yeah.

- You mind if I use your restroom real quick?

- In the back, first door on the right.

(water running)

- Thanks for your time, Tom.

Who's that?

- My son.

- Thought you said you didn't have any family?

- Hasn't talked to me in years.

He's getting married soon.

- I'll get out of your way.

- Hey, Terrance?

My son stopped talking to me years ago

because he blamed me for the divorce.

I wouldn't wanna see you go through that.

So,

What would it cost if I wanted to buy

a complete Sharpco kitchen for a wedding gift?

(laughing)

(stammering)

I thought you said you didn't have any money?

- I lied.

(electronic music)

- Are you over $13,000?

$13,500?

Are you over $14,000?

Wow, $14,500?

Gentlemen, are you both over $15,000 for PUSH?

Wow, we have our winner, ladies and gentlemen.

(cheering)

(relaxed surf music)

- But, they're very popular.

We've been selling a lot of the green ones, actually.

- [Terrance] You guys live around here?

- [Voiceover] Yeah, I live in Encinitas.

- [Terrance] Nice, so you surf right out front then, huh?

- [Voiceover] Yeah, I just got out of the water.

- [Terrance] How is it?

- [Voiceover] It was good, I surfed Swami's, it was good.

- [Terrance] Good.

Lookin' at getting a board?

- [Voiceover] Yeah, I was looking at some of these

for myself, but I'm actually looking for my son,

Pierce, getting him one for Christmas.

- [Terrance] Oh, nice.

Well, I mean, how old's your son?

What exactly are you looking for?

- [Voiceover] He's little, he's five.

Do you have any of those little foam boards?

- [Terrance] We actually just sold out and we're probably

not getting another shipment until spring but

I'd go for this five-foot grom board right here.

- [Voiceover] Let me check it out.

- [Terrance] I mean, it's pretty wide,

so it's easy to paddle into waves.

And it's short and light,

so easy to carry around and maneuver.

What'd you start off on?

- [Voiceover] First board I got,

my dad got it for free out of the trash.

Somebody was throwing it away. (laughs)

Yeah, it was a big one.

But my first real board was probably

something that was a little, it was 5'4",

so it was just a little bit taller than this,

but I was a little bit older than Pierce, so.

- [Terrance] That's cool.

- [Voiceover] How much is it?

- [Terrance] It's $240, sticker price,

but, I mean, I could throw in

some fins and a leash for free.

- [Voiceover] $240?

That's a little more than I wanted to spend.

How about $240, fins, leash,

and then you throw in a little traction pads?

- All right, is that something you'd like to do today?

- All right, I'll take it.

- All right, let's go ring you up.

They want us to believe that we are sheep

so they can take our wool.

You are not a sheep.

* I know I prefer the non-fiction kind of life

* I think gettin' it right is the hardest part

* Maybe that's just why it's not the best place to start

* I think gettin' it right is the hardest part

* Maybe that's just why it's not a good place to start

* All right now just take it easy

* Maybe time is running out

* Maybe the only time we got is now

* I think the people that got it figured out

* Ain't very pleasing
